1. Basic Windows Server 2008 R2 System Requirements 1.1. Other Server 2008 R2 System Requirements 2. Don’t Forget The Basics!
To run server 2008 R2, your hardware must meet certain requirements to run it. It requires a 64-bit processor unless you’re running on Itanium based systems.
Your processor must run on at least a 1.4 GHz frequency. It’s recommended your processor is 2.0 GHz or faster for best performance.
Server 2008 R2 minimum memory requirement is 512 MB RAM. But, we recommend you run it on 2 GB RAM or higher for it to run smooth.
The least amount of available disk space you need to run it is 10 GB. For best performance, we suggest you’ve 40 GB or more of disk space available for the system to run better.
Also, you’ll need your computer to have a DVD-Rom drive for the installation of Windows Server 2008 R2. The display requirement for this operating system is at least a Super VGA 800 by 600 monitor or one with better resolution.
To run the system you’ll need the basics. The keyboard and mouse are essential to run this operating system.
Other Server 2008 R2 System Requirements
If you’re running the server on an Itanium-based system, you’ll need to meet certain hardware requirements. Your system must have an Intel Itanium 2 processor and more disk space available.
When the computer running the system has more than 16 GB of RAM, it’ll need more free disk space too. The system will use these resources for dump files, paging, and hibernation.
When it comes to memory, there are maximum limits you can’t exceed. These will depend on the type of system you’re running on. For 32-bit systems, the max memory limit will be 4 GB for Standard or 64 GB for Enterprise and Data Center systems.
When it comes to the other systems, the limits are higher. Foundation systems have an 8 GB maximum memory limit. Standard systems have a 32 GB limit while Enterprise, Datacenter, and Itanium-Based systems have a 2 TB max.
We suggest you do a complete backup of all your configuration information for your servers before installing this system. Also, you should run diagnostics to make sure your hardware meets the server requirements.

Before embarking on the installation of Windows Server 2008, it is important to first gain an understanding of the different editions available and the corresponding hardware requirements. It is also important to be aware of the upgrade options available with each edition. With this objective in mind, this chapter will focus on providing an overview of both the different Windows Server 2008 editions and the recommended hardware requirements.

Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition
Windows Server 2008 Standard is one of Microsoft’s entry level server offerings (alongside Windows Web Server 2008) and is one of the least expensive of the various editions available. Only a 64-bit versions are available, and in terms of hardware Standard Edition supports up to 32GB of RAM and 4 processors.
Windows Server 2008 is primarily targeted and small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and is ideal for providing domain, web, DNS, remote access, print, file and application services. Support for clustering, however, is notably absent from this edition.
An upgrade path to Windows Server 2008 Standard is available from Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition.
Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition
<google>ADSDAQBOX_FLOW</google>
Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition provides greater functionality and scalability than the Standard Edition. As with Standard Edition, only a 64-bit version is available. Enhancements include support for as many as 8 processors and up to 2TB of RAM.
Additional features of the Enterprise edition include support for clusters of up to 8 nodes and Active Directory Federated Services (AD FS).
Windows Server 2000, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition may all be upgraded to Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition.
Windows Server 2008 Datacenter Edition
The Datacenter edition represents the top end of the Windows Server 2008 product range and is targeted at mission critical enterprises requiring stability and high uptime levels. Windows Server 2008 Datacenter edition is tied closely to the underlying hardware through the implementation of custom Hardware Abstraction Layers (HAL). As such, it is currently only possible to obtain Datacenter edition as part of a hardware purchase.
As with other versions, the Datacenter edition is available only in a 64-bit version and supports up to 2TB of RAM. In addition, this edition supports a minimum of 8 processors up to a maximum of 64.
Upgrade paths to Windows Server 2008 Datacenter Edition are available from the Datacenter editions of Windows 2000 and 2003.
Windows Web Server 2008
Windows Web Server 2008 is essentially a version of Windows Server 2008 designed primarily for the purpose of providing web services. It includes Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 along with associated services such as Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Telnet. It is available in a 64-bit version only and supports up to 4 processors. RAM is limited to 32GB.
Windows Web Server 2008 lacks many of the features present in other editions such as clustering, BitLocker drive encryption, multipath I/O, Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS), Removable Storage Management and SAN Management.

Windows Server 2008 Hardware Requirements
Before investing time and resources into downloading and installing Windows Server 2008, the first step is to gain an appreciation of the hardware requirements necessary to effectively run the operating system. The following table provides an overview of Microsoft’s recommended minimum hardware:
|
Category |
Minimum / Recommended Requirements |
| Processor | • Minimum: 1GHz (x86 processor) or 1.4GHz (x64 processor) • Recommended: 2GHz or faster Note: For Itanium based systems an Intel Itanium 2 processor is required. |
| Memory | • Minimum: 512MB RAM • Recommended: 2GB RAM or greater • Maximum: 32GB (Standard) or 2TB (Enterprise, Datacenter) |
| Available Disk Space | • Minimum: 10GB • Recommended: 40GB or greater Note: Systems with RAM in excess of 16GB will require greater amounts of disk space to accommodate paging, hibernation, and dump files |
| Drive | DVD-ROM drive |
| Display and Peripherals | • Super VGA or greater-resolution monitor (800×600) • Keyboard • Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device |
As with the specified system requirements for all Windows systems it is best to aim for the Recommended values rather than the Minimum values to ensure acceptable levels of performance. For example, whilst it is possible to run Windows Server 2008 in 512Mb of RAM it is unlikely that performance levels will be optimal with such a configuration.

| Memory | Minimum: 512 MB RAM. Maximum (32-bit systems): 4 GB (Standard) or 64 GB (Enterprise and Datacenter). Maximum (64-bit systems): 8 GB (Foundation) or 32 GB (Standard) or 2 TB (Enterprise, Datacenter, and Itanium-Based Systems). |
| Disk Space Requirements | Minimum (32-bit systems): 20 GB or greater. Minimum (64-bit systems): 32 GB or greater. Foundation: 10 GB or greater. Computers with more than 16 GB of RAM will require more disk space for paging, hibernation, and dump files. |
| Display | Super VGA (800 × 600) or higher resolution monitor. |
| Other | Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device. |
Installation and Activation
Evaluating Windows Server 2008 software does not require product activation or entering a product key. Any edition of Windows Server 2008 may be installed without activation and evaluated for an initial 60 days. It is possible to extend the evaluation period for up to 240 days. After that, a valid license will be required.
